Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
For weeks, this is a subject which has become a source of tension between clubs and federations. As is now tradition, the football event at the Olympic Games is a real headache for the selectors. The tournament, located outside FIFA dates, allows the different teams to retain their players, because the competition falls right during the summer preparation. Thierry Henry, the boss of the Blues, has received many refusals for his group, but he is not the only one.
Yamal not summoned
In Spain, the selection was debated, notably because of the Pedri case. In 2021, the Barça nugget had a full season in Catalonia, then the Euro until the semi-final, and finally the Olympic Games until the final, before experiencing a catastrophic next year undermined by injuries. For this new edition, the Blaugrana have still decided to give up three players to the Roja : defenders Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia (back from loan from Girona) and midfielder Fermin Lopez, although present at the Euro, as indicated in an official press release. Lamine Yamal, once courted, will ultimately not be part of this list. Discover all those summoned below!
